Management Consultancy with An Innovative Approach
About Irial O’Farrell
Founder & Lead Consultant
Since her first job in Australia, Irial has been fascinated with how to match the needs of the people with the needs of the business. This fascination has led her on a merry dance through operations, management, organisation design, learning and development, change management, executive coaching, strategy, and innovation.
Her unique ability to recognise patterns, behavioural or otherwise, combined with a systematic way of analysing businesses, provides her clients with invaluable insights as to what is causing the performance issues they experience. Being able to diagnose the sources enables powerful solutions to be designed and implemented, resulting in better business performance.
Having been profiled alongside Marshall Goldsmith and Tony Robbins, Irial was the first, and currently only, CMI-accredited master of change in Ireland. She has also authored several best selling business books and is working on her next one.
